No cockpit view in the mustang. External model only....................WTF.

Well the exterior of the MS-Flight Mustang is someone's dream/imagination anyway - they must not have used much, if any, actual resource material for it, let alone push any boundaries with the textures/materials...you can get far better, with a bit more money (even less, soon), in FSX.

Curiosity has got the better of me when it comes to the base/program...it's free after all...should be nice for some Stearman flights around the big island of Hawaii, I should think. ; )

It holds zero interest for me.

Haha when I read what your wrote I thought yes what about the Warbirdsim Mustang and then I realised who wrote it...

For me MS Flight will be installed but will be a fun thing for the kids to play with and I won't be buying any addons....UNLESS it evolves and includes NZ, detailed airports for NZ, more aircraft and NZ AI etc.

Tried it, and not impressed. It really is an arcade game, unless I missed something?

***GypsyBaron*** · February 28th, 2012, 14:54

No interest whatsoever.

I played the beta, and it was pretty good...it was a beta . Its not FSX, but its something new . From what I have seen the addons are pretty cheap (the whole island of Hawaii-less than $20 bucks and a couple of planes $8 to &10 bucks each). I was going for Areofly but from my friends opinion its more of a game than Flight is . Plus what I would spend on Areofly $50+, I can start with Flight .

For sure, I will take a free version to see it but without a pressure.

I'll Install, see it, take some

, maybe more,

, or again something more

. Will be very peaceful, maybe I will like it in this time. I will take a credit card, cant read digits so cant buy something. Morning

I will not see what I did, I'll take uninstall option of unknown programm, it doesnt look like FSX icon.

Just looked at the prices for the UK, OUCH! someone at MS forgot to do any currency conversion. Wouldnt be so bad if I could fly around the globe on adventures and generally do as I please, but £10 for an aircraft limited in realism that I can only use around one island unless I shell out what seems to be £15-20 for new small patches for terrain or new 'missions' at the £15 range

Me thinks for UK types, FSX and FS9, XPlane or even Prepared3D fully modded is going to end up cheaper than a 'free' sim in no time at all.

Still its new and as a flight simmer, ill get it downloaded at some point and give it a whirl.

***Kiwikat*** · February 28th, 2012, 15:47

I'll pass...

Instead I'll take delivery of my brand new Canon 5D Mark II. That is a whole lot more exciting!

Thats going a little far! I think Flight will be a good complament to those sims. There are things it cant do (yet) that the others can. Flight is a great GA VFR sim with so ILS/VOR capability. Its a great way to burn a few hours and some AVG.

***Crusader*** · February 28th, 2012, 18:50

Just downloaded . May seem like a stupid question but is there such a think a "Free Flight" or is it all mission oriented ? Wouldn't mind having the entire Hawaiian chain if I could fly free flight around the islands . Maybe I missed something in the options . I didn't think the ground textures were bad at all . If you like ROF (Rise of Flight) , you probably would enjoy Microsoft Flight .

im gunna wait i think

looks nice, but i dont think it will suite me at all

**Gibbage** · February 28th, 2012, 19:18

Yes there is "free flight" but you MUST finish the first two Icon missions (intro, and wedding party) to access the free flight map. I think its stupid they did this, but you learn a lot about Flight in those two training missions.
